God how I wish i'd bought 'that' flat in Bellenden (village) road/was now renting the thing out

Helllll yes

[Pickle]

Seabag, ditto. Decided against a nice 2 bed flat on Bellenden Rd 14 years ago, kicking ourselves now!

I was at Frank's last week and overheard someone saying, Peckham was just like Shoreditch now.

Looks for 'like' button

Apparently, Croydon is also the 'new Shoreditch'. Now that is ridiculous!

Peckham has always been its own unique place. Whatever community has decided to make it their home, that pioneering community spirit, rooted in its rural history has always held firm and set it apart from other 'villages' in London. Whatever anyone thinks of its present guise or its evolving guise, I do hope this will always be true. It's not the new anything, it's itself.

If Peckham was likened to anything it would definitely be more Shorditch than Brixton.

Shorditch became 'cool' because of its popularity with artists and creatives and start-up buisinesses.

Brixton has never had that art scene going on, more of a foodie bar scene.

You wanna take this outside?

[Mick Mac]

Well, I have been there and felt rather old. It's the steps I think.
